I don't know what I should do with this motherboard.

So I bought a Ryzen 7 1700x APU and a Crossblade Ranger Motherboard. This is my first build so I quickly realized when I got them this was a big mistake as the motherboard only fits FM2+ sockets, and the Ryzen is an AM4 socket. Both are rather expensive, and I don't know whether to keep the motherboard or the APU. And seeing as how I haven't used either one, I'm probably going to try and sell the one I don't use. Any recommendations for what I should do? I think I want to keep the Ryzen 7, but what motherboard should I get with it. All help is appreciated, thankyou

Yes. You want to exchange the mobo for a compatible one: B-350(cheaper), or X-370(more expensive). They should then add or subtract the difference from the board you already purchased once they've received it.

EDIT: do you have a compatible cooler? The 1700x doesn't come with one, but the non-x does.
